Me and my band have our first gig coming up at our local hall in december and we are thinking of doing a muse influenced night!! Were going to kick off with Uprising (with extended riff) but can anyone suggest any other good easy guitar + vocals songs which would be cool to play BTW it doesnt have to be muse we also like biffy, killers, green day etc.

PS: we are a three man band, with a keyboard and guitar player at hand

First gig huh? probably 8 songs I guess? I once had a gig with my band and our (female)vocalist dropped out 4 weeks before the show, we played alot of green day stuff and kryptonite from 3DD, don't know if can find the setlist, but it was all really beginner stuff..

If I get you right you mean you're the guitar player and you play keys too, and you sing?

1 Muse - Uprising (not to much of a fan of this but oh well, as long as you boost the 100hz range on the bassguitar and add compression it's all good..)
2 Muse - Supermassive black hole
3 Green day - American Idiot / Holiday or so
4 Muse - Time is Running out
5 3 Doors Down - let me go
6 Muse - Feeling good
7 U2 - Vertigo
8 Muse - Plug in baby

These are pretty good ideas guys (Y) audience around 300 - 350 :/ we want to give people something to talk about so lots of lights, lasers and smoke machines and a hell of a big set!!!!
We are booking a big hall in our town it's perfect for what we want here is our setlist we thought of:

Woah- that long?
Don't "riff" that much. Muse are Muse and can do whatver they want. You can't!!
You're structure isn't that great, I'd try some "heavier" songs as well. Roll over the audience.... Oh and DON'T DO Exo 2 if you aren't 200% sure. Even Matt is afraid of it
And Take A Bow might be hard without an arpreggiator...

Just no, too much Muse. If you want to be a Muse tribute band, then be one, otherwise, that's far too much of one band if you want to either be a covers/originals band and you'll be associated with that band forever, which isn't a good thing in the long run for you.
